2~97~

The invention relates most especially to compounds of formula I, wherein Rl is allyl, methallyl or prop-2-yn-1-yl, R2 and R3 are both hydrogen or methyl, and R4 is allyl, dimethylallyl, prop-2-yn- l-yl or benzyl, and R5 is allyl or methyl, and to the salts, especially the pha~naceutically acceptable salts, and tautomeAc compounds and double-bond isomers thereof.

The invention relates specifically to the compounds of formula I mentioned in the Examples, and to the salts, especially the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, thereof.

The novel compounds of formula I can be prepared in a manner known per se, by reacting a compound of formula II

Rl1 S
O / ~ C N -HN--C~ N--Rs (II) R~f H

with a compound of formula III

R4-X (III) wherein X is a nucleofugal ieaving group and Rl, R2, R3, R4 and Rs are as defined above.

The radical X in a compound of formula III is preferably halogen, for example chlorine, bromine or iodine, but may also be, for example, aliphatically or aromatically substituted sulfonyloxy, for example methylsulfonyloxy (mesylate) or 4-methylphenylsulfonyloxy (tosylate). As a further leaving group X it is also possible to use, for example, the tri-fluoroacetate group in a compound of formula lII, R4-X.

The condensation of a compound of formula II with a compound of formula III is effected 2~97~

in the presence of a basic condensation agent, such as a tertiary organic base, such as a tri-lower aL~ylamine, for example triethylamine, a Hiinig base or an organic nitrogen base, such as pyridine or quinoline in a temperature range of from 25 to 120~, advantageously at the boiling temperature of the solvent.

There may be used as solvents protic and aprotic solvents, such as aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbons, for example dichloromethane, especially methylene chloride or aliphadc or cycloaliphatic ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane. Toluene or ethanol may also be used as solvents.

Where appropriate, salts such as, for example, sodium or potassium iodide and/or catalytic arnounts of dimethylaminopyridine may also be added as reaction accelerators.

The compounds of formula II and processes for the preparation thereof that are based on methods knownper se are known and are described, for example, in GB-l 325 061, US-4 697 020, DE-2 405 395 and DE-2 632 745 and as intermediates in the preparation of turnour-inhibiting medicinal active ingredients.

Compounds obtainable in accordance with the process can be converted in customary manner into other compounds of formula I.

Resulting salts can be converted into the free compounds in a manner known ~ se, for example by treatment with a base, such as an alkali metal hydroxide, a metal carbonate or a metal hydrogen carbonate, or with ammonia, or another salt-forming base mentioned at the beginning, or with an acid, such as a mineral acid, for example with hydrochloric acid, or another salt-forming acid mentioned at the beginning.

Resulting salts can be converted into different salts in a manner known per se, acid addition salts for example by treatment with a suitable metal salt, such as a sodium, barium or silver salt, of a different acid in a suitable solvent in which an inorganic salt being formed is insoluble and is therefore eliminated from the reaction equilibrium, and base salts by freeing the free acid and converting it into a salt again.

The compounds of formula I7 including their salts, may also be obtained in the forrn of hydrates or may include the solvent used ~or crystallisation.

~7~

In view of the close relationship between the novel compounds in free form and in the form of their salts, hereinbefore and hereinafter any reference to the free compounds or their salts should be understood as including the corresponding salts or free compounds, respectively, as appropriate and expedient.

Resulting racemates can also be resolved into the optical antipodes by known methods, for example by recrystallisation from an optically active solvent, with the aid of micro-organisms or by reaction of the resulting diastereoisomedc mixture or racemate with an optically active auxiliary compound, for example according to the acidic, basic present in compounds of formula I or an optically active alcohol, to form mixtures of diastereo-isomeric salts or functional derivatives, such as esters, separation of the same into the dia-stereoisomers from which the desired enantiomer can be freed in customary manner.
Bases, acids and alcohols suitable for the purpose are, for example, optically active alkaloid bases, such as strychnine, cinchonine or brucine, or D- or L-(l-phenyl)ethylamine, 3-pipecoline, ephedrine, amphetarnine and similar bases that can be obtained by synthesis, optically active carboxylic or sulfonic acids, such as quinic acid or D- or L-tartaric acid, D-or L-di-o-toluoyltartaric acid, or optically acdve alcohols, such as borneol or D- or L-(l-phenyl)ethanol.

The invention relates also to those forms of the process according to which a compound obtainable as intermediate at any stage of the process is used as starting material and the remaining steps are ca~ied out, or a starting material is used in the form of a salt or, especially, is formed under the reaction conditions.

The invention relates also to the novel starting materials which have been developed specifically for the preparation of the compounds according to ~he invention, especially the group of starting materials that lead to the compounds of formula I mentioned at the beginning as being preferred, to the processes for their preparation and to their use as intermediates.

The pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention, which comprise the compound according to the invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are for enteral, such as oral, also rectal and parenteral, administration to (a) warm-blooded animal(s), and comprise the pharmacological active ingredient on its own or together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The daily dose of active ingredient is dependent on the age and individual condition as well as on the mode of administration.

~0~74~

The novel pharmaceutical compositions comprise, for example, from about 10 % to about 80 %, preferably from about 20 % to about 60 %, active ingredient. Pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention for enteral and/or parenteral administration are, for example, those in unit dose form, such as dragées, tablets, capsules or suppositories, as well as ampoules. They can be prepared in a manner known per se, for example by means of conventional mixing, granulating, confectioning, dissolving or lyophilising processes.
For example, pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration can be obtained by combining the active ingredient with solid carriers, optionally granulating a resulting rnixture, and, if desired, processing the mixture or granules, if necessary with the addition of suitable excipients, to form tablets or dragée cores.

Suitable carriers are especially fillers, such as sugars, for exarnple lactose, saccharose, mannitol or sorbitol, cellulose preparations andlor calcium phosphates, for exarnple tri-calcium phosphate or calcium hydrogen phosphate, and binders, such as starch pastes using, for example, corn, wheat, rice or potato starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone, if desired, disintegrators, such as the above-rnentioned starches, also carboxymethyl st~rch, cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, agar, alginic acid or a salt thereof, such as sodium alginate. Excipients are especially flow agents, flow conditioners and lubricants~ for example silicic acid, talc, stearic acid or salts thereof, such as magnesium or calcium stearate, and/or polyethylene glycol. Dragée cores are provided with suitable, optionally enteric, coatings, there being used inter alia concentrated sugar solutions which may comprise gum arabic, talc, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol and/or titanium dioxide, or coating solutions in suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures, or, for the preparation of enteric coatings, solutions of suitable cellulose prepara-tions, such as acetylcellulose phthalate or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate.
Colourings or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragée coatings, for example for identification purposes or to indicate different doses of active ingredient.

Other orally administrable pharmaceutical compositions are dry-filled capsules comprising gelatin, and also soft sealed capsules comprising gelatin and a plasticiser, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The dry-filled capsules may comprise the active ingredient in the form of granules, for example in admixture with fillers, such as lactose, binders, such as starches, and/or glidants, such as talc or magnesium stearate, and, if desired, stabilisers. In soft capsules, the active ingredient is preferably dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, paraffin oil or liquid polyethylene glycol, to which stabili~sers may also 2~7~ ~

have been added.

Suitable rectally administrable pharmaceutical compositions are, for example, supposit-ories that consist of a combination of the active ingredient with a suppository base. Suit-able suppository bases are, for example, natural or synthetic triglycerides, paraffin hydro-carbons, polyethylene glycol or higher aLkanols. There may also be used gelatin rectal capsules, which comprise a combinadon of the active ingredient with a base material.
Sui~ble base materials are, for example, liquid triglycerides, polyethylene glycol or paraffin hydrocarbons.

Suitable for parenteral administration are especially aqueous solutions of an active ingredient in water-soloble form, for example in the form of a water-soluble salt, and also suspensions of the active ingredient, such as corresponding oily injection suspensions, there being used suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles, such as fatty oils, for example sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, for example ethyl oleate or triglycerides, or aqueous injection suspensions that comprise viscosity-increasing substances, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sorbitol and/or dextran, and, optionally, stabilisers.

The invention relates a1so to the use of the compound of formula I, preferably in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. The dose of active ingredient is dependent on the species of warm-blooded animal, the age and the individual condition, as well as on the mode of administration. In normal cases, the approximate daily dose in ~e case of oral adminis-tration to a patient weighing about 75 kg is estimated to be from about 5 mg to about 1000 mg, especially approximately from 10 mg to 200 mg. The dose can be administered all at once or may be divided into several, for example from 2 to 4, individual doses.
Pharmaceutical compositions in unit dose form thus comprise from about 5 mg to about 250 mg, especially from about 10 mg to 50 mg, of active ingredient.
